Driver or Truck Company: Who is Ultimately Responsible?

Types Of Tow Trucks

Tow trucks come in all shapes and sizes, from a standard pickup truck with a tow attachment to huge tow trucks the size of semi-trucks. No matter the size, towing vehicles have the potential to cause very serious accidents.

Some of the common tow truck types include the hook and chain, flatbed towing vehicle, boom winch, and wheel lift. You need the attorneys at 1-800-Truck-Wreck who have experience in these different tow truck accidents and understand what makes each case unique.

How Tow Truck Accidents Happen

Tow truck accidents can happen at any time. In fact, the attorneys at 1-800-Truck-Wreck have plenty of experience representing clients who were involved in wrecks with tow trucks due to user error issues like pulling too heavy of a load, not securing the property properly, or not maintaining equipment can all contribute to serious accidents.

These incidents can happen because the driver is inexperienced or impaired, but it can also happen because the tow truck company didn’t maintain equipment and do safety checks. Tow truck drivers may also be in a hurry and have lots of calls, or they may not have enough training and on-the-job experience. They might even be distracted and get involved in a collision while towing your vehicle.

Due to all of the various factors with tow truck accidents, you need the experienced team at 1-800-Truck-Wreck to pursue your claim. We’ll learn the details of your case and help you determine the best course of action to recover compensation for your loss or injuries.

Proving Negligence to Win Your Case

If you’re going to receive a settlement from the tow truck company or their insurance company the burden is on you to prove negligence. That’s where the 1-800-Truck-Wreck team comes in. The tow truck company will have their own attorneys and their insurance company will do everything they can to avoid paying fair compensation. One of their strategies will be blaming the accident on you. Whether it’s a self-employed tow truck owner or companies that operate tow trucks, the responsibility is theirs to make sure their equipment is working properly. They need to have the experience and training to operate the tow truck so they don’t do harm to you or your vehicle.

Oftentimes, our investigation will help us prove the tow truck company was not doing regular safety checks, they were not following all laws and regulations — or the tow truck driver was inexperienced, impaired, or had not been trained.

We don’t want you to fight this battle alone. If you’ve been injured in a tow truck collision, you shouldn’t have to pay while you suffer from injuries sustained from the wreck. Let us help you hold the tow truck driver or company responsible and get compensation to pay for damages.
